And it's, we can, like, we're not bad enough that you can just say, oh, the season's hopeless and, like, you might as well not watch anymore.

It's not really the case.

We're okay.

We're a good team that really has very little shot of making any noise, I think, in the playoffs.

Against the truly elite teams in the league, even though the league just in general, the Howard Celtics, the two-seeded, will likely end as the one-seeded in the East.

And how are the Spurs somehow close to OKC?

I guess injuries kind of explain that one.

But the league in general is just one of those years where nobody truly feels like they're very good.

And the Rockets are perhaps the epitome of that.

They're just not very good.

You know, some of it attributed to not having Fred Bentley.

Some of it attributed to the Stephen Adams injury.

Some of it attributed to...

And we'll get into it.

Severe regression from Tari Eason's defense.

Some regression from Oman Thompson's defense.

Severe regression on Shengun's defense.

And not really any step up when it comes to the offense for Shengun as well.

It's just, you know, whatever you want to blame for it.

Or I guess some people will also say Imei Odoka's questionable rotation decisions as well.
